SANDAKAN:The Fixed Broadband Unity Package under the Rahmah Package is expected to be enjoyed by the community, especially students in rural areas.
Supporting the initiative of the Unity Government, Sabah Umno Head of Information, Datuk Suhaimi Nasir, wants the rural community, especially in the state, not to miss out on the package introduced under the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) last March.
He said the government’s initiative to improve broadband services for the needy is timely in line with the latest developments in information technology.
The effort was to ensure the target group enjoys good and high-speed internet access.
“People in rural areas, especially students, need high-speed internet access for their studies and to keep up with current information technology developments,” he said, recently.
Fixed Broadband Integration Package was launched by KKD Minister Fahmi Fadzil last March 30 with speed of up to 30 Mbps and unlimited data at a price of RM69 per month.
The package is offered with a 24-month subscription contract aimed at reducing the burden on the target group, namely B40, through service providers such as Telekom Malaysia, Celcom, Digi, Maxis and YTL Communication Berhad.
Suhaimi, who is also for Libaran MP, said continuous initiatives need to be carried out to ensure the internet coverage the State is more extensive, especially in rural areas.
